Did Ritz and Teg both pull a Hall?
They still don't have a 15k split on the live tracker.
Please excuse me if I'm ignorant -- unable to watch the stream.

Nobody behind the top 10 has a recorded 15k split. Some sort of malfunction, I guess.

Tadese falling off the pace now, couldn't see who else was falling off with him before they cut away.
A lot of these guys look like they are hurting pretty badly for not even being an hour into the race. I feel like some of them might be in for a rude awakening when they reach the newton hills.
Tadese got back with the group. Still a mystery as to why the 26:3x 58:23 man can never hang onto a marathon pack
So there's a decent gap from men's leaders back to Ritz and an unidentified runner. No sign at all of other Americans (Meb in lead pack obviously).
Wish I could see Korir's shoes, they look fly
Ritz by himself some distance behind the lead pack
Some cracks starting to form in women's race. Duliba is off the back. the Americans are at the back of the lead pack as Kilel/Dibaba push up front.
Mile 12 was 5:16, slowest of the day so far.
Is Meb rabbiting again this year?
Bernard Kipyego for the win. I'm calling it now.
Shalane is a few meters off the back of the lead pack. Linden 20-30m back of her. Duliba off the back.

If ritz runs an even pace, and all the leaders kill themselves with surges, I could see him grabbing a podium spot.

word.
Shalane 10m off pack, Desiree 20m
Is that Hastings on the back of the pack?
